Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


tem?pest (סערה, ṣe‛ārāh, or שׂערה, se‛ārāh, ?a whirlwind,? זרם, zerem, ?overflowing rain?; χειμών, cheimṓn, θύελλα, thúella): Heavy storms of wind and rain are common in Palestine and the Mediterranean. The storms particularly mentioned in the Bible are: (1) the 40 days' rain of the great flood of Noah (Gen_7:4); (2) hail and rain as a plague in Egypt (Exo_9:18); (3) the great rain after the drought and the contest of Elijah on Carmel (1Ki_18:45); (4) the tempest on the sea in the story of Jonah (Jon_1:4); (5) the storm on the Lake of Galilee when Jesus was awakened to calm the waves (Mat_8:24; Mar_4:37; Luk_8:23); (6) the storm causing the shipwreck of Paul at Melita (Act_27:18). Frequent references are found to God's power over storm and use of the tempest in His anger: ?He maketh the storm a calm? (Psa_107:29); He sends the ?tempest of hail, a destroying storm? (Isa_28:2). See also Job_9:17; Job_21:18; Isa_30:30. Yahweh overwhelms His enemies as with a storm: ?She shall be visited of Yahweh of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest? (Isa_29:6). Yahweh is a ?refuge from the storm? (Isa_25:4; Isa_4:6).
